Penacony introduces us to a star-studded cast hailing from all over the cosmos, and there to welcome us is Honkai Star Rail’s Sunday. He also appeared way back in the 1.6 livestream, so if he looks familiar, that’s why. Here’s what we know about his character so far, and whether we think he’ll join the playable roster in the future.
It’s a perfect time to dive back into the game, and there are plenty of Honkai Star Rail codes to redeem. Here’s the current Honkai Star Rail banner, and what you can expect in the next Honkai Star Rail update.
Who is Honkai Star Rail’s Sunday?
Sunday is an organizer of the Charmony Festival taking place on Penacony and is a representative of the Family – a group that follows Xipe, the Aeon of the Harmony, and includes the Bloodhound, Iris, Oak, Nightingale, and Alfalfa divisions among others.
We learn plenty about Sunday during the course of the Charmony Festival and the Trailblazer’s adventures in Penacony, including his true reason for heading up the Family and representing the festival. No spoilers, though – you’ll have to play the game to find out for yourself.
A few different species are name-dropped in the 2.0 updates, including the Halovians, of which Sunday is one along with his sister Honkai Star Rail’s Robin. They both have small wings close to their ears and have a halo of sorts above or behind their heads.
Will Sunday be a playable character?
In all likelihood, Sunday will be a playable character in Honkai Star Rail, though Hoyoverse has yet to confirm this. He’s heavily involved in the full Penacony story but hasn’t had drip marketing yet. Hopefully, we’ll see him in the late 2.0 updates after Honkai Star Rail’s Jiaoqiu and Honkai Star Rail’s Feixiao.
